Chapter Twenty-Six: The Flower of Wealth
The Queen Mother didn't get any useful news from the fifth prince and the eleventh prince, and after waiting for most of the day, she was also tired, so she could only give up and send the two away in a bad mood.
The fifth prince and the eleventh prince came out of Ninghe Palace, and when they looked at each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Zhiling soon arrived at the East Palace, evaded the patrol of the East Palace guards with his superior skills, and broke into the Phoenix West Garden over the palace wall.
He visually inspected the location of the main courtyard, and lightly came to the eaves of the main house, the window of the main house was open, which also saved him the thought of whether to break into the princess's boudoir like this, so he generously leaned out of the window and looked inside.
There was no one in the house.
The crown princess is not there? Still not living here?
He withdrew his head, wondering if he was going to grab someone and ask? Before he could think about it, he heard Yun Chi's cool voice at the gate of the courtyard, "The prince came to find the palace, why didn't he go to the main gate?" ”
Lu Zhiling was frightened, his body stiffened, and he secretly scolded that it was not easy to enter the East Palace, and the crown princess was not easy to see, as soon as he came, Yun Chi came in person. He scratched his head, turned around, and smiled dryly at Yun Chi, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, I used to like to jump over the wall, and when I entered this mansion, I just remembered that this is the East Palace, I shouldn't be so presumptuous, forgive my sins." ”
Yun Chi glanced at Lu Zhiling, and saw that his hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled, he smelled from afar, and there was some smell of alcohol, which showed that he had just woken up and came here.
Secretly thought that he was really idle, that day just after returning to Beijing, he went to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, drank wine with Su Zi in the middle of the night, and was in the ancestral hall of Jingguo for a day and night, and came to the East Palace when he woke up drunk.
This look, is it the crown princess who came to see him?
He smiled faintly, "Can the errand of Qinghe Salt Road be done properly?" The main palace has been waiting for the excerpt of the prince for the past two days. I didn't think that I didn't go to the provincial cabinet, but the prince personally sent it to the palace. ”
Lu Zhiling's heart suddenly burst into a cool air, fold? He'd long ago. He looked at Yun Chi's expression and coughed, "That...... Excerpt ......"
"Huh?" Yun Chi raised his eyebrows.
Lu Zhiling's heart was down, and he said seriously, "The errand of Qinghe Yandao is naturally done, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, I have already written the excerpt, and in my father's study, I will present it to His Highness early tomorrow morning." ”
"Then why are you coming to the East Palace now? Are you here to let Hongu know in advance? Yun Chi looked at him.
Lu Zhiling was abrupt in his heart, and said to him, I am curious about your crown princess, come and take a look at people? See what she looks like? By the way, ask for advice on gambling skills? He is not Su Ziqi, but he doesn't dare to say that. If he really said it, Yun Chi probably wouldn't be able to spare him today.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to trespass into the residence of the crown princess, especially when he was caught by His Royal Highness the crown prince himself.
So, he scratched his head again, and said with a smile, "Yes, come and inform Your Highness, after I came back, I was locked up in the ancestral hall by my old man, and now I finally came out, I am afraid that His Highness will not worry about the errand of Qinghe Salt Road, and the fold will be handed to you, and it will always take a twist, so it is better for me to talk about it in advance." ”
Yun Chi seemed to believe his words, and bowed his head, "In that case, the prince will go to the study with the palace, and let's talk about how you handled the errand of Qinghe Salt Road." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Phoenix West Garden.
Lu Zhiling's face twitched, watching his back disappear at the door, only to remember that his stomach had not eaten for a day and night. Just go to the study with him? With the means of boiling frogs in warm water in Yunchi, he was afraid that he would have to chat with him until late at night. Wouldn't he starve to death?
He struggled to feel that he could still walk away from the East Palace at this time?
He was thinking about it, when there was darkness under the cover in front of him, and a person stood in front of him quietly, his voice was cold, "Shizi, please!" ”
Lu Zhiling raised his head, and saw a shadow-like person wrapped in black clothes and black fog, and his face collapsed in an instant, Yun Chi's shadow guard Yun Ying, who grew up practicing with Yun Chi since he was a child, and his skills were on par with Yun Chi, since he came out to invite him, he couldn't leave no matter what.
He nodded in frustration, grinding his teeth, and said, "I'm really tired of you." ”
Yun Ying rarely appreciated the chagrin on Lu Zhiling's face for a moment, and said sincerely, "I haven't dealt with the prince for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”
Lu Zhiling took a step back and waved his hand, "Official business, another day, another day." ”
Cloud Shadow nodded, as if appearing, and retreated silently.
Lu Zhiling touched the sweat on his forehead, walked out of the Phoenix West Garden quickly, and caught up with Yun Chi.
Hua Yan came out of Qiu Yue's room and glanced at the gate of the courtyard, secretly thinking that this Lu Zhiling was also an interesting person. dared to break into the East Palace in the evening and came to this Phoenix West Garden to meet her privately, and was found by Yun Chi and arrested, but he did not change his face and made nonsense, he was bold and bold, he was really a character, one of the four princes of Nanchu, and his name was well deserved.
But looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he will not be pleased in the hands of Yun Chi today.
She was a little amused, and said to the other grandmother, "I go out for a walk in the garden, so I don't have to follow." ”
Mama Fang has figured out Huayan's temper in the past two days, if there is anything about the crown princess who is the same as His Royal Highness, it is this kind of style. She didn't dare to disobey and nodded.
Hua Yan walked out of the Phoenix West Garden, walked around the garden at will, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and slipped all the way to the place where the Phoenix Wood was.
From afar, I saw that "a phoenix tree in the East Palace is better than thousands of flowers in Lin'an." "The phoenix wood. The flowers are red and the leaves are green, the trees are full of fire, and the unique and magnificent scenery of this East Palace is really in response to that comment. The world's top flower of wealth, peony is delicate, not as good as this phoenix wood, standing in the clouds, higher than all things.
The leaf is like the feather of the flying phoenix, and the flower is like the crown of the phoenix.
What a phoenix tree!
What a tree East Palace rich flower!
Hua Yan has to admit that the beauty of the phoenix flower is indeed a match for Yun Chi's appearance.
She stood in the distance for a moment, then approached slowly, and came to the bottom of the tree, at this time, the sun was waning, and the phoenix tree was still swaying in the twilight, and the flowers were like brocade, red like clouds, beautiful and dazzling.
She leaned against the trunk of the tree, the trunk behind her was strong and generous, able to fully bear her weight, in the twilight afterglow, the wind was not smelled, the fragrance of flowers was fragrant, refreshing and pleasant, making people only feel that the world was quiet, and there was no trouble at all.
She closed her eyes, thinking that it would be nice to cool off under the tree. Staying under this tree, the mood will be cool.
Suddenly, a touch of wind blew, as if with a little wine fragrance, and like a wisp of cold plum fragrance, the temperature in the air was a few degrees lower.
Her heart moved, and her closed eyes did not open, as if she were unconscious.
The wind blew, and a person fell from outside the phoenix wood, and the person stood firmly, and his clothes were no longer rolled up half of the wind silk. In the twilight, he was wearing a crimson brocade dress, his figure was thin and slender, and he carried a jar of wine in his hand, and the jade wrench finger was pressed on the mouth of the wine jar, and the folds were shining.
He stared at Hua Yan who was lazily leaning against the trunk of the tree with his eyes closed for a moment, and suddenly smiled coldly, "Lu Zhiling, that stupid person, didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery, it's a pity!" ”
Hua Yan opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and her eyes fell on the wine jar in his hand for the first time, this familiar wine jar full of drunken red faces made her eyebrows tighten, and then, she moved away, looked at Su Zi's elegant face, smiled, and said lightly, "Zi Chop Gongzi, there is a big driver to come and see me!" ”
Su Zi raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, and handed her the wine jar in her hand, "Do you dare to drink it?" ”
Although Hua Yan has a deep hatred for the evil things caused by this wine, it does not prevent her from still liking this wine. Simply took the wine jar, "Why don't you dare!" The wine of the son is hard to find, and after tasting this wine, no matter how good the wine in the world is, it will not be in the eye. ”
Su Zi slashed his hand, his eyes shrank tightly, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into a smile, like a peach blossom washed in water, "I'll drink with you today." ”
Hua Yan held the wine jar in her arms, thinking that Lu Zhiling had just arrived, and he was discovered by Yun Chi, and Su Ziqi estimated that he would not be discovered too late. After all, this is the East Palace, Yunchi's territory. If you want to drink well today, I'm afraid it's not so easy to drink here.
But she really wants to drink, and she can't stop drinking from now on because of Yun Chi's bastard!
Since Su Ziqi came to find it in person, she doesn't have to be polite!
Therefore, she said to Su Ziqi seriously, "If you want to drink with me, I am afraid that Zizi will take me to another place." Last time, the drunken face was unfortunately mixed up halfway, and it couldn't make me happy. Today we must not fail this jar of wine again. ”
Su Ziqi laughed when he heard this, and said on the road, "Thirty miles north of the city, half of the mountain Qingshui Temple, the birdsong mountain is secluded, and the sound of wooden fish is suitable for drinking." How is it? ”
"Good!" Hua Yan nodded happily.
Su Zi took a step forward, stretched out his hand to wrap up Hua Yan's waist, toe lightly, rose in the air, stepped on the branches of the phoenix wood, like clouds and smoke, a few ups and downs, stepped on the high wall of the roof of the palace, and went out of the East Palace.
When Yun Ying found out, it was too late and wanted to chase after him, but he knew that with Su Zi's ability, he was one step behind, and he was thousands of miles away, so he went to the study first to ask for instructions, "Your Highness!" ”
Yun Chi knew that if something big didn't happen, Yun Ying would not come out easily, so he put aside to talk to Lu Zhiling, walked out of the door of the study, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yun Ying lowered his voice, "Su Ziqi just came, under the phoenix wood, and took away the crown princess." ”
Yun Chi's face turned cold, and his eyebrows instantly cooled to his bones.
